faces to positively eject the pen at the op- Y tion of the user.

Another object ot the invention is to provide an extractor which may be conveniently attached to standard penholders and which will not interfere with the use of the latter.

The above and other objects of this invention will be in understood from the following description of the present preferred embodimentof the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1, is a side elevational view of an extractor constructed in accordance with my invention illustrating the application of the same.

Fig. 2, is a similar view showing the extractor in longitudinal section, a portion ot the penholder being broken away t0 disclose details.

Fig. 3, is a fragmentary rear elevational view of the extractor and penholder.

ig. 4.-, is a cross sectional view taken on the line 4 4; of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction of the arrow.

Fig. 5, is a cross sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrow, and

Fi 6, is a sectional view taken onv the line Fig. 2.

In the drawings in order to illustrate the application of my invention a penholder 7 is provided which has mounted therein, in the usual way, a pen 8. Thepen is provided with a projection thereon, in this instanceV consisting of a struck up lug 9, whichV serves as an abutment.

The extractor consists of a barrel 10 preferably cylindrical in configuration, and is sleeved on the holder 7 as illustrated to advantage in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The lower end of the barrel has a clamping lever 11 pivotally mounted therein the free end of which Specification of Letters Patent.

is turned at right angles to provide a clamping inger 12. The lever 11 is countersunk in a corresponding recess 13 formed in the barrel, the said recess terminating short ot the outer end of the barrel. The lever 11 is bent outwardly at right angles, adjacent the terminus oi said recess and is then extended at right angles in parallelism with 10 to provide a finger engaging the barrel n g portion 14.

In order to normally retain the lever 11 in the recess 13 a retaining ring 15 is used. The ring is split as indicated at 16 to permit movement of the lever therethrough when a new pen is to be inserted in the holder.

To secure the barrel 10A against sliding movement on the penholder a hook 17 is provided, one vend ot which is pivotally mounted upon the flanged' outer end 18 of the barrel l0. The bill of the hook embraces the penholder, as shown to advantage in Fig. 5, and it desired may be seated in a corresponding groove in the penholder. A linger release 19 is 'formed on the bill of the hook for use in an obvious manner.

.be slidablv advanced over the latter after the hook 17 has been disengaged and pressuie exerted upon the abutment 2O which is formed integral on the periphery ot the barrel 10. Pressure is simultaneously exerted upon the outer right angled portion ot the lever 11. When the lower end of the barrel comes in contact with the struck up lug 9. continued exertion ot pressure on the barrel will cause the pen to be extracted in an obvious manner. It will be observed that the linger 12 will prevent the pen from flexing over when the barrel contacts with the lug 9. After the pen has been extracted in this way the split portion 16 et the ring 15 is brought into register with the lever 11 permitting the latter to be moved on its pivot point-'allowing the pen to be inserted proportionend arrangement of parts. I have above described what now seems to be the preferred form of my invention.

That I cla-im is: Y

5 A pen extractor including a barrel` equipped With e pivotally mounted elemping lever, means mounted on the barrel to `normally hold ,the lever from movement means mounted on the barrel to engage the 10 penholder for preventing relative movement of the barreland'holder, and meane to facile tate movement of Said barrel on said holder at the option of the user. p n
